Say I have a taxi cab fleet of maybe 10 cars
Do any versions of Quickbooks let me keep info and track maintenance done on the cars, parts used, when to do certain things... etc?

QuickBooks would of course be used to track the maintenance expenditures but is probably not the right place to track the actual maintenance activities. It sounds like a fairly simple application could be written for this in Access or a similar end-user database tool.

Well that's what I'm looking to do... to track maint expenses
You see... the company ERP system we are forced to use is absolutely terrible for mining data out of.
Our thoughts were to track maint expenses in the ERP system and our own accounting app in parallel
We cant get the report we need from the company ERP system. Again Its just terrible for user friendliness.

About 3 years ago I searched several popular shareware/freeware sites such as Tucows and found a number of applications available.

Me,
I love how people think QuickBooks is the only answer to the accounting needs of small business, only to discover they have to buy third-party add-ons to make QB work.
Here is an affordable alternative: The SBA Edition of A-Systems JobView. It includes a function called Equipment Costing that will track your equipment, maintenance schedules, etc., just as you described. You can order it from A-Systems at (800) 365-6790, including the equipment costing module for $179.95. By the way, the payroll module has user-definable tax tables. You can update your own tax tables for free! The payroll function does not become dysfunctional just because the tax tables change. The rest of the accounting system includes general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, contact manager, sales quote, order entry, payroll, and job costing. All of these are fully integrated. By the way, the software includes comprehensive multimedia training on the CD, included at no extra charge. Let's see QuickBooks match that!
One more thing: "The CPA Technology Advisor" just reviewed JobView and gave it 5-Stars out of 5, the second year in a row. Lest I forget, the reason we call it "The SBA Edition" is because the SBA bought a copy for every SBA Business Information Center in the country.
